Q: What's on TV today?

A: Poop.

I hate what’s on TV now and miss what used to be.

What happened to “Unsolved Mysteries”? I find it hard to believe that all of my favorite mysteries from the late eighties have been solved. I also find it hard to believe that there aren’t any new mysteries. Where did “Unsolved Mysteries” go? Now that’s a fucking mystery. I want it back.



And “Rescue 911” too. Dramatic re-enactments = pure awesomeness. I mean, you see a kid running with a toothbrush in his mouth and its like, “Oh shit, here we go…” Or someone would get stuck in a laundry chute—hilarious. But then they would have like an armed robbery and it would be like “Whoa, time to get serious.” Man, that show had it all.

Also, I miss “Boy Meets World.” I could really relate to that show—undoubtedly TGIF’s finest. I mean here’s this kid Cory, kind of dorky but everyone liked him (Erod). He had this really cool friend who the ladies loved named Sean Hunter (me). And they had this great teacher who changed their lives named Mr. Feeney (Jake). Remember the first time Erod kissed Topanga? Crazy. Wait, did that really happen? Oh, and if Corey feels left out he can be Minkis.

And is it too much to ask to come home from work, turn on the TV, and hear the theme from Disney’s “Talespin”? I would be like “Is that bear flying an airplane to an island bar ran by a monkey? Ah, who gives a shit, that song is money. Do-do-do Do-da-do-do…”

Whatever. I guess I’ll go watch “Reba.” (She doesn’t even sing, she’s just a single-mom living next door to her ex-husband. I mean, play to your strengths.)

Seriously though, what happened to "Unsolved Mysteries"?

Robert Stack, little help?

Making mention of Jake and the Fat Man would have been great too. Robert Stack died dude and that's why the mysteries that were once "unsolved" are now "never to be solved". Nice work...Los Elevators takes a deep breath after being underwater for too long.

Ok, so maybe he is dead (and I stress the word "maybe"). But does anyone know for sure how he died...
